SouthGOAT 

The colloquial name given to England manager Gareth Southgate for his team's performances in World Cup 2018 and Euro 2020 (held in 2021).

His team were World Cup semi-finalists for the first time since 1990 and Euro finalists for the first time in their history. Their only other finals appearance was in World Cup 1966 under Sir Alf Ramsey which they won. England were also Euro semi-finalists in 1996 (when Southgate was a player) and UEFA Nations League semi-finalists in 2019 (when he was a manager), making him the most successful England manager in competitive tournaments behind Ramsey.

He also drove up waistcoats sales after he sported them at World Cup 2018.
